LKY’s Niece, SG Wealthy Descendants Embrace Crypto Funds​

BLOCKHEAD - 09 SEP 2022

Heirs of Singapore’s most prominent figures are making an aggressive push towards crypto.

Whampoa Group is planning to splurge US$100 million through a venture capital fund in the space whilst raising $50 million for a crypto-related hedge fund, according to chief executive officer Shawn Chan.

Chan said the Whampoa hedge fund is market-neutral to offset the volatility of cryptocurrencies and trades Bitcoin and Ethereum mainly, whilst occasionally being involved with other tokens if the risk-reward is favourable.

“We think there is great conviction in this space. The venture capital fund will help us to expand our footprint in this area,” said Chan.

The multi-family office investment group was co-founded by Amy Lee – the daughter of Lee Kim Yew, who is the brother of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew. Amy Lee also served as a senior partner at Lee & Lee, a law firm started by the Lee brothers and Lee Kuan Yew’s wife.

Whampoa Group’s other co-founder is Lee Han Shih, whose family co-founded OCBC and Lee Rubber Group, among other companies.

Family offices are less regulated than other financial firms but still play a prominent role in the alternative investments space.

According to DBS, Singapore’s wealthy have been investors have been picking up buying opportunities amid a downturn in the crypto markets, helping to propel Bitcoin trading at its digital exchange at a time when MAS is deterring retail crypto trading, it said in August.

Whampoa will invest the raised funds in quity and tokens of products that facilitrate the mass adoption of Web3. The fund will likely be launched next quarter and has received strong interest from Chinese tech firms.

The move is not the firm’s first venture into web3, having previously invested in a fund set up by Binance.

Earlier this year, Kiat Lim – the son of Singaporean business magnate Peter Lim – and oil business Mewah International family scion Elroy Cheo founded exclusive NFT club ARC together.

ARC is targeting social media influencers and entrepeneurs to build an app-based commmunity for networking and collaborations.

“We are a networking ecosystem that encompasses online and offline experiences, and pushing online boundaries,” Lim said.

In July, Mandopop star JJ Lin joined ARC as a co-founder, stating “I’m excited to be a part of the Arc movement. It is the only community today that brings hugely diverse groups together with a very strong purpose of growing and co-creating. That’s what really inspired me to take a very active role in this project as co-founder.”

You’ve heard of Bitcoin, but have you heard of “Bitcoin treasuries?” From Japan’s MetaPlanet to UK firms like Coincilium and The Smarter Web Company, 61 publicly listed companies have now adopted the strategy of holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets—not just as a speculative bet, but as a hedge against inflation and a way to lure investors hungry for crypto exposure.

As tempting as Bitcoin going to $200,000 to $1 million is, I don’t want to be a hog and get slaughtered. If you have not begun acquiring Bitcoin, I suggest starting very small, starting with a Satoshi.”

The Bitcoin bull also warns of a global financial collapse, which he says may present a buying opportunity.

“Remember, Warren Buffett is out of stocks and sitting on $350 billion in cash. I suspect he is waiting for the world to crash. Then he will move back in and buy the best assets with cash. Time to get smarter and the best time to get rich if you are smart, patient, studying and aware. Please take care. Millions are about to become poorer. I want you to become richer.”

I see Bitcoin as high risk but with potential gains over time if you're careful. Toto feels like pure luck — fun maybe, but not something I’d count on for returns.

Think probability of riding the waves in bit coin is easier than striking toto. Question is how many know how to cut losses?
I don't even want to put money in any of them. Need time to monitor closely.

PayPal Holdings Inc. will soon allow businesses to accept more than one hundred cryptocurrencies at checkout.

The option is going live in the coming weeks and will allow merchants to accept crypto such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, from wallets including Coinbase, OKX, Phantom, MetaMask and Exodus. When a consumer pays with crypto, the funds are automatically converted into fiat or PayPal’s PYUSD stablecoin for deposit in the merchant’s account.

Project Ubin: Central Bank Digital Money using Distributed Ledger Technology​

https://www.mas.gov.sg/schemes-and-initiatives/project-ubin

What It Is​

Project Ubin is a collaborative project with the industry to explore the use of Blockchain and Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) for clearing and settlement of payments and securities.

The project aims to help MAS and the industry better understand the technology and the potential benefits it may bring through practical experimentation. This is with the eventual goal of developing simpler to use and more efficient alternatives to today’s systems based on central bank issued digital tokens.

Project Ubin is a multi-year multi-phase project, with each phase aimed at solving the pressing challenges faced by the financial industry and the blockchain ecosystem. The project has successfully concluded in 2020 after five phases, and the publication of 6 project reports.

Project Ubin has informed MAS and the industry on the learnings of DLT and blockchain in the financial industry, and sets the foundation for additional digital asset and digital money initiatives by MAS and the industry such as Ubin+, which explores cross border connectivity with other central banks
